Sounds like it. GearLog and a few other sites have reported it's possible on the NB205-N210.

No you don't - but if you are upgrading you could also upgrade to Win 7 or 8 OS

I have the same question. I want to send one to my sister in-law and she has Windows 7. I guess I will have to do a Google research if no one answers here.

There shouldn't be any issues if you want to roll it back to Win 7, but this particular computer comes with Win 8 pre-installed.

I have the same question!! The manufacture has a list of products with Windows 7 capability but does not include this item.

I have Windows 8 and had zero issues with it so Windows 7 should be fine :]

Yes, but why would you want to? I'd stick w/Windows 7 and wait for 10 (or whatever they are calling it) to come out.

I had success with xp and Windows 8, my guess would be that it would be compatible with the operating system in between these two versions. I would go to Toshiba web site for more research.

You know what I'm curious of. If you can upgrade it to Windows Vista. My brother keeps saying I'll have to do it eventually and I wonder about that if what he says is true. Though with the introduction of so many netbooks carrying XP to the market, I wonder what Microsoft is going to do about their plans to stop updating XP.

I think you will have to buy a copy and reimage it. I have been very happy with Windows 8. You might want to try it for a while before investing in 7. Good luck!

Ia m trying now. Yes you can install win7 on it but unfortunately Toshiba does not provide the drivers in win7 at their website so it will be problematic to install the drivers for the hardware. I can't find the driver for the "SM bus controller" in Win7 so far....:(

Yes, you can. Simply put, yes. I used to have an XP. It does work on it. 7 is old, It will even work on windows 2000. Which I also, had where it worked. So yes, go right ahead and upgrade to 7.

yes you can install windows 7(xp no longersupported) but This laptop has room only for 32bit

Yes, but I would suggest a complete format, nor will the downgrade be free. This may cause compatibility issues with the provided Lenovo software, which I find incredibly useful, so I might suggest buying from a retailer that provides the option for Windows 7 already installed.
